Iphone .. more than just a phone!


Who said Iphone is a rock? haha. I'm quite shock when i discovered an application that can be used in Iphone to estimate the engine horsepower. Amazing! The application is called "Dynolicious". Ths application uses the Iphone's built in accelerometer to measure:
  • 0-100km/h acceleration
  • Quarter mile elapsed time
  • Lateral G's
  • Braking G's
  • Wheel horsepower ( estimated )
  • Engine horsepower ( estimated )

FYI, The application has been track-tested at major dragstrip against regulation timing equipment and has demonstrated accuracy comparable to standalone performance meters which cost hundred of dollars =p

Price : $12.99 ( RM 46 +/-)
Requirements : Compatible with Iphone and Ipod Touch ( OS 2.2 or later )

p/s: btw , u still need the Iphone to use this app =p

    no harness needed. just put it into for exmaple a cradle or cupholder and you are ready to go. actually it uses the Iphone's buit in "accelerometer" to measure.. How cool is that? Iphone's has a lot of sensors u know =p. btw it is not a rock/stone. hehe
